Shah Rukh Khan Fans troll Salman Khan supporter over shared teleprompter moment from IIFA

A video showing Shah Rukh Khan using a teleprompter at the IIFA 2024 awards has led to online discussions among fans. The video, shared by a Salman Khan fan on X (formerly Twitter), shows the teleprompter behind the audience, from which Shah Rukh Khan was reading his script while hosting the event.

Many Shah Rukh Khan fans quickly defended the actor, with one user saying, "Who doesn’t use a teleprompter these days? Even experienced hosts rely on them." Another pointed out that even Salman Khan uses a teleprompter, and hosting an awards show with a long script is not something anyone can easily memorize.

Fans react to teleprompter use

Some users were surprised by the discussion, emphasizing that using teleprompters has been common for years. One fan mentioned, “Teleprompters have been used since the 2000s; it’s a standard practice.” Others supported Shah Rukh by pointing out how normal it is for award show hosts to follow a script for a smooth presentation.
